Paul Ryan: America Deserves a Better Path [VIDEO]

You know, I was here — in Congress — in 2008 when we had the economic crisis. It was a terrible time. Millions of people lost their jobs. Trillions of dollars of wealth: gone.

That crisis caught us by surprise.

Let me ask you a question: what if your President, your Senator and your Congressman knew it was coming? What if they knew when it was going to happen, why it was going to happen and more importantly, what if they knew what they needed to do to stop it from happening and they had the time to stop it? But they chose to do nothing about it, because it wasn’t good politics?

What would you think of that person? It would be immoral.This coming debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had in this country. And look what’s happening.This is why we’re acting. This is why we’re leading. This is why we’re proposing – and passing out of the House – a budget to fix this problem: so we can save our country for ourselves and our children’s future.http://budget.house.govhttp://www.facebook.com/reppaulryanhttp://www/twitter.com/reppaulryan

It has been over 1,000 days since the Senate passed a budget, and Harry Reid and his Democrat cronies have failed to bring one up for a vote, not even the one that President Obama submitted.

It is not difficult to understand that the federal government is too big, or that: our $15 trillion (and growing!) national debt: is a serious problem. The American people have a lot more common sense than many members of Congress, and they understand that spending more money than you have is not sustainable.

My prediction: over the next few months, we will see an endless parade of ridiculousness from the Left, as they attempt to stir up one false controversy after another, to dig up new strawmen to blame, new victims who will plead for mercy, claiming their only hope for relief is rescue by Uncle Sam’s checkbook.

Every single Republican running for office this year, up and down the ballot, needs to steel their spine, refuse to get distracted, and remember that: the voters’ priorities are focused on the economy, and that the Republicans have the common-sense answers that the American people want to see.

While some of the music and (especially) the sound effects chosen by Glenn Beck and his production crew are bit melodramatic, the video from his “Revolutionary Holocaust” segment from Friday night is a must-watch program, placing Hitler’s National Socialism, and International Communism in its various forms — and the European intellectuals of the early 20th century who championed both forms of barbarism into context.
